Highlighting the triggers involved, Anuj Gupta, Deputy Vice President — Commodities & Currencies at Angel Broking said, “Today, Gold price is trading on a positive note as the US FED kept interest rates unchanged. Along with the rate decision, it projected that the economy will shrink 6.5 per cent in 2020, and this projection supports the safe haven demand for Gold. We are recommending buying Gold. For intraday perspective, traders can buy at 47,000 levels, with the stop-loss of Rs 46,750, for the target of Rs 47,600 levels. Weakness in dollar and low bond yields may also support gold prices. In the international market, it may test $1750 per ounce levels soon.”
